My Father Was a Freedom Fighter

by Ramzy Baroud

This is a wonderful book – it’s a history book, it’s a work of literature, it’s a memoir… Ramzy Baroud is a political commentator and historian. He grew up in the Gaza refugee camp and is very familiar with the psychology of the people in the camps – to this day they’re holding out hope and still dreaming of going home. He captures this delightfully and his descriptions of place and people are just magnificent.
